Efficient and Practical Diesel Performance

The 2018 Vauxhall Insignia Design Nav Ecotec D is powered by a 1.6 litre Turbo D ecoTEC engine producing 110 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque, offering a strong balance between usable performance and everyday efficiency. To enhance this further, we carried out a Vauxhall Insignia Exhaust Upgrade alongside a Stage 1 remap, delivering a noticeable increase in power and torque while maintaining long term reliability. This combination transforms the vehicle into a more responsive and enjoyable daily driver without sacrificing practicality.

Smooth Driving Dynamics

With front wheel drive and the choice of manual or automatic transmission, the Insignia is built for comfortable and efficient motoring. The Stage 1 ECU remap sharpens throttle response and significantly improves mid range pulling power, making overtaking and motorway driving smoother and more confident. Paired with a custom Vauxhall Insignia Exhaust System, exhaust flow is improved and restrictions are reduced, resulting in smoother power delivery and a deeper, more refined engine note.

Technical Specs and Market Position

Measuring 4686 mm in length and weighing approximately 1410 kg, the Insignia offers strong road presence, stability, and a towing capacity of up to 1500 kg. With CO2 emissions rated at 99 g per km and tyre size 225 by 50 R17, it remains an efficient and practical option in its class. The performance and exhaust upgrades are carefully matched to the vehicle, enhancing drivability and efficiency while retaining its everyday usability.

Performance Upgrades

The upgrade package consists of a Stage 1 remap combined with a custom stainless steel cat back Vauxhall Insignia Exhaust. The remap optimises engine software to safely unlock additional performance, while the exhaust system improves gas flow from the catalytic converter backwards. Together, these upgrades increase power, improve throttle response, and deliver a deeper, sportier exhaust tone. The result is a more engaging driving experience with improved performance and refined sound.
